With the Olympic Qualification period closing on 14 June, this weekend’s World Triathlon Cup Huatulco represents a massive final opportunity for the athletes to climb the rankings and put themselves in the picture for national selection and a seat on the plane to Tokyo.
The sprint distance course takes in a one-lap, 750m swim in the bay of Santa Cruz beach, leading into a four-lap, 20km bike course that traverses the town with two long, straight sections and a couple of tight, more technical turns, and a two-lap run finishing in Santa Cruz Plaza. You can watch all the weekend’s action from Mexico on TriathlonLive.tv.

Before all eyes turn their focus to Tokyo and one of the most eagerly anticipated Olympic triathlon programmes to date, the men’s World Triathlon Cup Huatulco looks set to provide one last dose of qualification-period drama.
Back to the start list and wearing the number one comes Tyler Mislawchuk, fresh from an extended training block in Hawaii and Arizona and now ready to rediscover his 2019 form that saw victory on this very course. Bad luck on the bike in Lisbon ended his challenge after a good swim three weeks ago, and the hot temperatures expected in Mexico are likely to suit the slight Canadian once more as he builds towards Tokyo.
